The Cedars Nursing Home was the second attempt at finding the right for Mum and I am so happy we found them. You are always greeted with a smile from every staff member you pass. They always make you feel welcome and care about the relative's welfare just as much as the residents. The most important
thing for me was to have somewhere with calm energy as Mum has been through so much and The Cedars finally provides this. On Memory Lane, people are always treated with respect in a calm and friendly manner. Keep up the amazing work!

Reply from Sam Humphries, General Manager at Barchester Cedars Care Home (Salisbury)

Thank you for such a lovely review of Cedars which really does depict our image. We are proud to have a family approach within the home and your kind words will be fed back to our community.

Our mother passed away recently after more than three years at the Cedars. The staff are all friendly, smiling and happy and Mum was really happy there. The buildings and surrounding gardens are lovely, there is a really wonderful variety of activities and events and the staff really do care for the
residents. I knew my mum was popular there but I was genuinely touched by the number in tears and offering their condolences when she passed. I would not hesitate to recommend the Cedars to anyone looking for a home for their loved ones.

Reply from Sam Humphries, General Manager at Barchester Cedars Care Home (Salisbury)

Thank you for such kind words. Your mother was well-loved and will be truly missed. The staff will always remember the giggles they shared with her and joining in with her socialising in the lounge. We are honoured to have been part of her life's journey and she will always be a part of our community.

A wonderful caring residential home. The staff are so friendly and the care they give is outstanding, not only to the residents but to their families. The home sits on the most beautiful grounds and is immaculate inside. My mother has only been there a short time but we are hoping she can stay as she
feels safe and not alone, mum has made some friends and is very happy.

Reply from Sam Humphries, General Manager at Barchester Cedars Care Home (Salisbury)

Hi Kim,
Mum has settled in well and is such a joy to care for. Thank you for such lovely words, we are so lucky to have our home situated on such beautiful grounds. Mum really is a part of our Cedars family already.

The staff at Cedars Nursing Home always demonstrate a good knowledge of my mother, for example, will use my mother's unusual terminology when giving feedback. They use good skills to encourage her to engage in activities. The home's activities are central to the varied needs and interests of the residents
and it is lovely to see much staff involved in the activities.

I am overwhelmed at the standard of care my Mum receives at the Cedars. I moved her from another care home locally where I was very disappointed. The staff at the Cedars are fantastic. They CARE. They engage with the residents all the time. They genuinely want to make sure every resident is an individual
and every need is met. The activities are geared to individuals and there is always something going on. The staff are very open to feedback and encourage regular meetings for families to hear about where they can improve. The food looks delicious and they create individual menus for residents.
The new refurbishment is outstanding in quality and design - it's like a plush hotel!
I am always greeted with a warm welcome from reception through to nursing care, housekeeping and laundry - everyone refers to me by name and I feel the staff are happy in their jobs and proud of where they work.
Well done to the Barchester Team - you are amazing!

Reply from Sam Humphries, General Manager at Barchester Cedars Care Home (Salisbury)

Thank you for you lovely words. As the manager of The Cedars I am so proud of such an amazing team and they work so hard to ensure all residents and relatives get the care and attention they deserve. We are one big family and grateful to have you as part of it!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5

Our perception of The Cedars over the last three years has been poor. This is due to the high turnover of management and staff. Over the last four months, under totally new management, the care has vastly improved. We have been with the home now for over six years, and it has been a bumpy road. Continuity
of staff and management is of paramount importance to maintain the high standard of care that we expect. This far above decoration, there are just window dressings, staff and management are the important factors.

Reply from Sam Humphries, General Manager at Barchester Cedars Care Home (Salisbury)

Hello, we thank you for your honest feedback and value your thoughts on your overall experience. I understand your frustration in regards to the home in the last three years mum has been a service user. We have had a large recruitment drive and we now have a soild team of support staff who are family orientated and receptive of the residents' needs.
As the manager of the home, I am pleased you have seen a vast improvement in the care being given. I will continue to work with yourselves; and others, to build a home from home for all residents.

I always find the staff busy and occupied, but invariably very willing to assist and help with anything that will help residents feel happier or guests feel more welcome.
Staff always looking for opportunities to learn more about resident's backgrounds, too, as this can help in all interactions. I
find this highly reassuring and an indicator of an attitude of genuine care.

Cedars cared for my mother superbly so when my husband needed help, I could no longer provide (he has Lewy body dementia) I knew where to contact. He has been there for 16 months now. He is settled, extremely well cared for and genuinely loved by the carers who say he is a perfect gentleman. I can sleep

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.700)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.700) out of 10 for Barchester Cedars Care Home (Salisbury) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.700 for Barchester Cedars Care Home (Salisbury) is calculated as follows: ( (215 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.7

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Cedars Care Home (Salisbury) is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Hello,
I qualified as a nurse in 2009. I started my career back home in India for a few years before coming to the UK in 2013. I quickly found my passion for elderly care and felt a great sense of achievement when helping others live to their best potential. When the residents smile and see them happy, I know the team has done a fantastic job in enriching their lives.

I have worked as Head of Care and Deputy Manager for a few homes around London and in Hampshire. I believe I can keep up my good work to keep my residents and their loved ones happy & comfortable. I have always made a good relationship with all the multi-healthcare professionals for the well-being of my residents.

I love being out in nature and driving around in my spare time. My little one keeps me busy, the rest of the time.

I love learning about dementia and how I can benefit those diagnosed and this led to me being a trained Dementia champion for the home.

I implement many different ideas, improving the quality of care for our residents. My focus is inclusion and making sure all residents are included in everything, not only to enable them to feel independent and purposeful but also so that they are not inadvertently excluded by others.

When I am not at work I enjoy Arts and Crafts, Vintage/Antique Fairs, Indian head massage and Reiki.
